Easter Egger's and Ameraucana's = same thing

[MysteryChicken]

Ameracauna is in EE blood in most, or far back in it's mutts origin.

The mutt is the Easter Egger. Easter Egger, & Ameracaunas are similar, but not the samething.

They MOSTLY meet that standard but it's very clear there was some fairly recent outcrossing done and that leg and egg color fell by the wayside while they were breeding. It's frustrating.

I'll be using Easter Eggers for a future new breed I wanna create though.

A friend told me skin color only pertains the the self blue 2016 rules. Did that change?

My Standard of Perfection is in storage right now or else I would pull it out, but yes, it seems to be https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0145/8808/4272/files/A2880.pdf

Thanks for not helping.

Is the other way around, Easter Eggers blood in in Ameraucana, Proper Araucana type Rumpless and Tuffs have been bred by Dr. Ruben Bustos in Chile from Collonca and Quetros in late 1910s.

in 1930s A gentleman from the USA named Brower imported some stock after seeing the 1927 National Geographic picture of Araucanas and many followed after that.

Officially The APA accepted Araucanas as a breed in 1976 and Ameraucanas in 1984, anything before that was being called the Easter Egg layer, you can see this reference as far back as 1940s, in the 1960s most hatcheries were selling these Araucanas that laid Easter Eggs. So anything before 1976 is "Officially" an Easter Egger.

They're also calling them South American Araucanas (an initially considered name for Ameraucana) in the ad. It's very clear that there were multiple names in use for the whole lot of them before any of them became ratified in the APA.

This was a good story about it;

I always forget that the first battle was over the name Araucana

The Easter Egger name goes back to 1940s or even before(can't find published work)

Here is the Chronology. Mr. Brower sees the National Geographic reports on the Araucanas in 1927 and Imports Blue Egg laying stock from Chile in 1930s and starts working on his stock, on 1948 National Geographic reports of his progress with these "Easter Egg Chickens" in the 1950s and 1960s hatcheries start selling these Easter Egg Chickens.

Here is a close up of Mr. Brower 1948 NG report

Dr. Costello first presented his paper on rumpless, tufted, blue egg laying chickens at the Thirty-fifth World Poultry Congress in Chicago in 1939. I have a hard-bound copy of all the presentations. National Geographic had an article including Dr. C,s paper soon after and the race was on. I have that copy and the one with the article on the first importation into the US.

Would be nice if You could post ir here, All old info on them in The USA is of great help. According to info from chile Mr. Brower imported mongrelized stock from chile on the fall of 1930. Mr. Bustos was working on Rumpless tufted birds by 1914 un Chile, some of those Made their way to London on 1920s for Poultry shows
